cular , the more reasons I think I see why he was to suffer ; at least I see the old ones in a stronger light , and feel more of their force . Other studies , and other pursuits , that to many others are very proper and useful , appear to me to be altogether insignificant compared to these . * I am here in the midst of unbelievers , and even Atheists . I had a long conversation with one , an ingenious man , and good writer , who maintained seriously that man might arise , without any Maker , from the earth . They may despise me 3 I am sure I despise and pity them . "—Pp . 237—254 .
The floods of grief have spread around ; I ' m weary of the tossing waste . O that I had the dove ' s light wings To flee away and be at rest !
There is a rest with Him whose love Will shelter me with tender care . He sent me forth , he calls me back , Till all again be bright and fair .
My soul is sick , my spirit faints , — Is any sorrow like to mine ? When I would hope , long-buried sins Like spectres in the darkness shine .
Then let me cast my cares on Him Who cheers the contrite , soothes the worn . The parent nurse forgets her babe Sooner than He the hearts that mourn . O when shall end these weary days , And when these nights of woe be o ' er ? The meekest will must break at last , The firmest soul endure no more .
I seize the promise , sure as mild , Help to my need , strength to my day ; For those that wait , bright worlds reserved , Whence sin and sorrow flee away .
